"Night markets have their own character and are popular destinations for local people and travellers alike. Hoi An night market is widely known as one of the most joyful markets in Vietnam.
"The night time here becomes very entertaining as most bars and restaurants have karaoke music nights that are held on the roof terraces overlooking the locals decorating their boats with colourful lanterns. The old town transforms into a walking area for the night.
"Hoi An night market is a perfect place for locals and travellers to have a breathtaking view overlooking the Thu Bon river and roam around the food stalls that offer a traditional variety of Vietnamese street food.
"Vendors are selling their specialty dishes such as seafood; scallops, octopus, squid and the inevitable frog sticks. Every sound of human interaction tells a story. As the Vietnamese people go along with their daily lives, this soundscape resembles how wonderful it is to just be able to take the time to sit back and listen to them."
